Ryan and I found out while we were in Mexico that we were pregnant and are beyond excited. We are currently twelve weeks along, and our baby is apparently the size of a large lime.
Ryan and I have been praying for quite some time that the Lord would bless us with a child. It was very difficult waiting, but it was a wonderful opportunity to learn to trust in His sovereignty and timing.
Thank you so much for all of you who have been praying for us as we have waited on God’s timing in this. It's such a testimony to His faithfulness to those who pray! Please continue to keep us in your prayers—pray that God would protect our unborn child and that He would be glorified in this precious baby.
We had our first prenatal appointment a couple weeks ago and were so blessed to get to hear our baby's heartbeat as well as to get to see our baby through an ultrasound.
It was by far one of the most amazing experiences of our lives! We were able to see the little heart beating within our baby's body. The doctor then repositioned things so we could see the baby from the front. It was incredible! Both of the baby's arms and both legs were just moving around constantly. It looked like our sweet baby was dancing for us!
Anyway, here are a couple videos that Ryan took with his cell phone. On the first one, you can hear the heartbeat, on the second one, if you look closely enough, you can see our baby's arms and legs moving around. I'm sorry for the quality--it was much better in person. By the way, I'm also sorry they're sideways--I don't know how to rotate the videos (or make them bigger) in Blogger. :)
